How WorldSpace Attest Works

Overview

WorldSpace Attest is a toolkit for running accessibility tests while you code. Use Attest results to find and fix individual accessibility code defects. Attest integrates into your existing testing framework(s) so your team doesn’t have to worry about working with a new platform. Accessibility issues will simply become part of functional issue reporting.

Easy Integration

Attest was designed to fit seamlessly into your team’s testing environment. It can be customized to integrate with any testing framework. The testing ruleset and policy settings can also be customized to your particular compliance needs.

For teams who would like to integrate accessibility testing into their build but do not yet have a lot of automated tests, the Aget Codeless Testing feature takes a config file of URLs and natural language scripts.

Browser Extension

Attest includes a browser extension for your front-end developers to run a quick in-browser test any time they want. The extension returns detailed information on accessibility violations and how to fix them with a link to more in-depth information.

Reporting & Tracking

WorldSpace Attest results can be presented in a variety of management reports.

Use the dashboard view to show leadership the progress your organization is making toward accessibility. Project reports for your CI tool, such as Jenkins, Bamboo, or CircleCI can include accessibility metrics. Use code-quality dashboards, such as SonarQube, to pull data from Attest and give your technology leaders an ongoing sense of accessibility progress. Accessibility and development team leaders can also use the data to identify where additional training or tools may be needed. Attest produces reports in HTML, JSON, and JUnitXML formats so that all of this reporting and tracking is easily accomplished.

Security

WorldSpace Attest is fully contained in your development and test environment. Because Attest runs locally and doesn’t require any outside server calls, it’s not only secure but also fast, and there’s no danger of losing access to Attest due to network issues outside of your own environment.
